No they aren't, I was just confused in the beginning bc it even were he same descriptions and stuff. Just really liked their old design more and now it feels (at least to me) like it doesn't fit.
(And the fact that it's the standard xenforo design makes me sad, idk why i thought some things on this site here were created to be unique, idk). But if it has more features it makes sense i guess...

Exactly @Cunechan I was just poking fun. I knew it was only a matter of time before they would end up switching over. What I am simply pointing out is that toxic community would eventually pour over here to argue about their relic of a website. Like even now, instead of taking the joke, people get defensive. There is no harm in a little competition.

I agree with your initial statement. Too many devs wanting dev approval instead of making games for people to have fun playing. Different people find enjoyment different ways, so diversifying the theme of each game can help address this.

Don't get me wrong, this mentality is not a terrible one to have for a hobbyist. However, the series is desperately trying to break out of being just a hobby. It is up to the developers now to become serious.

I just need facesets and Charsets, as I'm making the main characters and battlers. I don't mind character generator, but it will take a lot of my time to create all the NPCs. Hoping between 20-30 total so there is plenty to go around lol

I can certainly sympathise. Right now it feels like my time is 80% development, 20% company management, but I can't justify getting any extra help because that 20% is sporadically spread across the month and the money gained would not outweigh the costs.

In terms of finance, my company sells technology and services to other studios and that got me into profit immediately, despite planning two years of operation on zero profit. Perhaps selling services is something you could do?

That is actually what I am currently sustaining myself with, professional services locally. However, it is unfortunate that the town I live in is not very... technically inclined. I have been capitalizing on being one of the only web designers in a heavily populated rural area, but the work isn't always there.

I agree @Troctzul , it's a disaster over there and if you're a member they cap your search every 20 seconds, making it impossible to find anything if you make a small typo. The trick is to be a guest, they won't cap the search and you can continually search for resources etc lol. Either way, I prefer this community over most others, it's easy going, and easy to navigate.
